That word unusual means something that’s not normal or you don’t see very often.
If you try a fruit that is not available in your country, a very special fruit then to you that fruit might be unusual.

Almost everyone knows about sports such as basketball or football.
But not many people know about some other sports.
They may be a little unusual.
One of these is disc golf.
It is similar to normal golf.
But you throw a disc; you don’t hit a ball.
Also, a disc golf course has baskets, not holes.
You try to throw a disc into each basket.
You have a certain number of tries to do that.

hit就是擊打
hole就是洞
unusual就是不同寻常的奇特的

Hi, James!
Are you playing basketball in the park today?
No. I’m on my way to play disc golf.
There’s a new course beside the park.
Disc golf? Is that like normal golf?
The idea is similar.
But in disc golf, you throw a disc.
You don’t hit a ball.
And you throw the disc a certain number of times?
That’s right.
A golf course has holes.
In disc golf, do you try to throw the disc into a hole, too?
No, in disc golf each "hole" is a basket.
You try to throw that disc into it.
Disc golf sounds unusual.
Do a lot of people play it?
It is getting more and more popular.
Is it fun?
Come and see for yourself!

I’m on my way to play.
我正在去玩的路上
Do you play disc golf?
Yes. I’m on my way to play.
Do you play often?
Yes. I’m on my way to play.
Is it fun?
Yes. I’m on my way to play.
Hey! Come with me.
No. I’m on my way to work.
Oh. Too bad.

Disc golf is somewhat similar, but you’re not using a ball.
You need to use a disc or what many people call a frisbee飛盤.
This is something that is round and flat and you’re going to throw it by spinning it.
So you’re spinning these discs and you’re going to try to make sure they fall into a basket.

片语on one’s way to do something

他们正往和老板开会的途中

Normal golf or regular golf, earlier Garrett talked about this sport golf.
You take clubs球桿 and you have little balls.
And you’re trying to hit the balls into holes in the ground.
You hit the ball with a club.
If you have an old shirt, maybe you want to throw it out, because it has a hole in it.
If the disc hits some chains on the outside of that basket, it will go in then you have finished that basket.

Today we’re talking about sports.
That is why you have all this sports equipment.
Take a look, I have a basketball and a tennis racket, a baseball bat, a soccer ball and an American football.
Hey, don’t forget about badminton.
When someone has a good attitude, even when they lose.
We say they’re a good sport.
So if I lose a game but I don’t get upset, I’m a good sport.
Being a good sport doesn’t always have to do with sports.
It doesn’t?
No!
You can be a good sport if something bad happens, but you don’t complain or become angry.
Like if something goes wrong but I’m nice about it.
Exactly, then you’re a good sport!
That’s really good to know.
Where’s my golf disc?
It’s not here!
Oops! I borrowed it last week and I lost it.
You lost it!
Well, that’s OK. I’ll just buy another one.
Thanks. You’re a good sport!

Pickleball is similar to tennis.
These days another one is called spike ball.
Can you tell us what pickleball and spike ball are?
Pickleball is played on a tennis court with a smaller racket, it’s quite fun.
Spike ball is like volleyball on a trampoline蹦床,(用作健身的)彈翻床.

But you will need to find a disc golf course if you’re going to play.

Then do you all push the bed in the race?
No, one rides on the bed, and the rest push.
Everyone wears a silly costume.
Then you race to the finish line終點線!
